I believe every coop in Iowa put wet corn on the ground to get all OUR wet corn unloaded to service us. In my area every coop that had a pile went bad, some worse than others. It's better them than us. What did you want them to do with OUR wet corn? Close the elevators till it dried in the field? Then you'd be complaining about that too? I commend them for their efforts on even taking in the wet junk to begin with and the long hard hours of dumping and drying this wet harvest, I stand and applaud them and you should too. The guys at the elevator start their harvest of unloading and drying when the first customer starts and they don't get to finish until the last guy is done, unlike us, we start and stop when we wish. My local elevator is still working late nights and weekends drying this wet corn from piles and hauling it to either the ethanol plant or a rail location. What are we doing today, tonight, or this weekend? I'm going on vacation! Thanks to those who make it happen! How come it's always someone elses fault???


Not every elevator in the state put wet corn out. It is stupid to put 25% moisture corn in a pile, if anyone is doing that they should be fired. It is stupid to put 20% corn in a pile hell much 18% is pushing it. Yes they should close down they have a business to run also and believe it or not their goal should be to make moeny not have $5 mill of grain go bad. Guess who pays for that bad corn in the end. A lot of elevators were closing down when they were full of wet corn.
